CVE-2026-32792 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in NLnet Labs Unbound affecting versions 1.6.2 through 1.25.0 when the software is compiled with DNSCrypt support enabled. The flaw is in the DNSCrypt packet reading logic: a malformed DNSCrypt query whose decrypted plaintext is composed entirely of zero bytes and lacks the expected 0x80 marker can trigger an underflow condition in the packet-reading procedure. As a result, Unbound may continue reading past the intended bounds of the buffer while searching for a non-zero marker byte. Depending on allocator behavior and heap layout, this out-of-bounds read progression can lead to a heap overflow and subsequent process crash. If the overflow condition is not reached, later packet validation logic rejects the malformed packet.
